BetterSurf popup - How to remove?

Seeing BetterSurf popups when using Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome means that your system has been infected with a potentially unwanted program. The application highlights some words on the websites whenever you are browsing the Internet. If you go over them with your mouse, BetterSurf popups will appear.

Every message contains a link to some commercial website and if you click on it, you will end up visiting the page. This is how the program advertises affiliate pages and increases their traffic. Although BetterSurf popups are not related to viruses, these in-text ads complicate computer users’ work. Moreover, your computer faces a higher risk of being infected with serious malware. The messages by BetterSurf can take you to various corrupted or malicious websites full of threats where you can get your system attacked by Trojans, ransomware or other viruses.

The most popular way for adware to be infiltrated into computers is with a help of free programs. They can come bundled to free music players, PDF creators and similar applications that are free of charge. BetterSurf pupups have been noticed to be bundled to 1ClickDownloader, Yontoo, Superfish, FBPhotoZoom, etc. To avoid, such programs to be added automatically, pay attention to what you are downloading and read the installation wizard attentively. It will inform about any additional application bundled to the main software. If you do not want them to be installed, remove the check boxes next to these unfamiliar titles.

Use a reputable antispyware program, to delete BetterSurf from your computer. Scan your system with Reimage, SpyHunter, hitman or any other legitimate tool.
